To all those dogs who have long since gone,
You have never been forgotten though your soul has moved on,
Now at peace in a place with no pain,
Allowed to roam free on lifes open plain,
No aching joints, no bruises or scars,
No restrictions from movement, no cages no bars,
No more cheering for you to run faster,
Now you only take orders from one Lord and Master,
With his guiding hand he will lead you the way,
And once over the bridge, in his care you will stay.
S Crompton
